Chasing The Badass (Badass Series #3) Complete

Chapter 1

"I'm sorry hija, akala ko kasi gusto mong malaman ng Daddy mo ang tungkol sa nangyari kahapon."

Natigilan ako sa pagkain. Sinulyapan ko siya, she looks unapologetic but whatever.

Sinumbong niya kasi ang nangyari kahapon, may nagsumbong sa kanya hindi ko lang kilala kung sino as if I care. Lol, kahit pag-untugin ko pa sila. No kidding.

"Buti nakapag-isip ka pa." I said sarcastically.

"Amethyst," malamig na sambit ni Dad. I rolled my eyes and stood up. "Sit down!" His voice thundered inside of our house.

I took a deep breath and back to my seat. I saw how his wife smirked.

"Where's your manners?"

"I don't have it."

He glared at me. Isinawalang bahala ko 'yon.

"J-just let her, honey. Alam mo na kapag lalo mong sinasaway mas lalong nagrerebelde."

I scoffed. "Mas mukha ka pang rebelde, ulol." I whispered. At dahil malayo naman ako sa kanila ay hindi nila narinig.

"That's not how she should talk to you!"

"I'm fine honey," her voice makes me vomit. "I'm used to her treatment to me, she don't want me t-to be her second m-mother...while me, I'm doing my b-best to be a good o-one, she can't appreciate---"

I stormed out of the kitchen despite of my dad's calling my name, angrily.

I really can't stand eating with them, especially with his girlfriend. Alam naman niyang mainit ang dugo namin ng babaeng iyon sa isa't-isa tapos kung makapag-aya siya at pilitin akong sumabay sa kanila ay hindi, hindi niya alam o baka pinipilit niya pa ring magustuhan ko ang babaeng iyon?

Whatever. As long as she won't lay her fingers at me, we're good.

I spent my day painting inside my room. I love painting, but I don't like to paint using light colors, I don't know if it is just me. I love darkness, I love night, I love everything that is dark. It's weird but yeah, I'm obsessed.

Nang mapagod sa kakapinta ay lumabas na muna ako ng kwarto. I decided to go to the near 7eleven just so I can relax and have my peace of mind. Bumili ako ng isang box ng ice cream na cookies and cream.

Nakaupo ako sa malapit sa bintana para tanaw ko ang mga taong dumadaan at makita ang payapang gabi.

Every weekends are like a nightmare for me, staying in that house is like staying in a crowded place. Lahat nang galaw mo may nakamasid, kung pwede lang lumayas ay ginawa ko na but no. I promised to my mom that I will not leave our house just because my father treats me bad or so will his girlfriend. I  hate living in that house but I promised to my beloved mom...I'll keep my promise, no matter how my dad's girlfriend want me to leave and throw me out. Subukan lang niya at nang makita niya ang hinahanap niya. In the first place, wala na akong respeto sa kanya...meron pa kay Daddy pero kapag pinagpatuloy niya ang pagpapalaki sa ulo ng girlfriend, magkalimutan na.

"It's late, why are you here?"

Napatingin ako sa umupo sa harapan ko bago napairap sa ere.

Hindi ko siya kinibo at nagpatuloy sa pagkain. I heard him chuckled. What's funny?

He cleared his throat. "I didn't know you're fond of ice cream?"

"I am not." I denied, even though I'm really fond of it.

"I see." his amused voice made me turned to him and raised my brow.

"Why are you even here? As far as I know, hindi ka taga rito?"
